HEEL BREAST BUFFER.

APPLICATION FILED JAN.14,1 J13.

Patented Sept. 23, 1913 {NVE/WUR Herman G. Bend i x WITNESS/5S Q satin or tine leather constituting the lace ot' the shoe. Another use 'for the buffer is to iinish the lower front portion 21; of the heel which also is concave in this Character of shoe. For this purpose the shoe and butter 1C will be differently positioned from that shown in Fig. l, the axis of the shank l2 of the butter lying in substantially the vertical longitudinal plane ot the shoe. The dust resulting from the abrading action of the l5 buffer will not adhere to the sheath and clog up the same under ordinary Condit-ions because ot' the elasticity and vibration given lto the sheath by virtue of the body 1S of the buifer. By -this fact the life of the sheath 23 is very much increased. When, however,v

the sheath becomes worn an'd unfit for use, it may easilyI be removed, reversing the process already described, and a new sheath applied in its place.

25 s Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters,

Patent:

l. In an abrading device, the combination of a, shank having a shoulder intermediate its ends, a core surrounding one end' of the shank, a resilient body of cylindrical form surrounding and secured to said core, a sheath of abrading material removably litted around said body, said sheath including a tab atv one end, and means to secure the core, body and sheath removably to the shank, said tab being gripped between said shoulder and the core.

2. In an abrading device, the combination of a shank, a core slidably fitted upon said shank, a sheath of abrading material otl hollow cylindrical 'orm surrounding said core, said sheath including an integral' tab at each end,each tab having a hole therethrough and bent up across the end of the cylindrical portion, the shank aforesaid being slipped through said holes in the tabs, and means securing the core and sheath removablyI to said shank, said securing means serving to grip both of said tabs squarely against the ends ofthe core.

In testimony Whereotl I have signed luy naine to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
